Abstract

This reflective piece describes the author's experience as a faculty engagement librarian at the University of Alberta library as part of the library’s residency program. Delving into the challenges of transitioning from a library masters program to the workforce and ensuing feelings of imposter syndrome, the author shares their journey of transitioning from a presentation-focused teaching style to a student-centered teaching approach.
